Operating Environment - GCC Technologies LaserPro C180II User Manual

NOTE
SmartGUARD™ is an optional fire detection alarm system developed by GCC. Contact
your local GCC authorized distributor for more details for having this safety option
installed onto your system.
• Enable the SmartAIR™ nozzle when engraving or cutting materials that may easily ignite,
such as acrylic, wood, or paper.
• Always wear safety goggles when the laser system is in operation. Reflective materials such
as mirrors, enameled brass and anodized aluminum may partially-reflect some of the invisible
laser radiation. Severe eye damage may occur if appropriate safety goggles are not worn.
NOTE
Each LaserPro laser machine is shipped with a single pair of safety goggles. If additional
safety goggles are required, please contact GCC directly or an authorized GCC
distributor. If you wish to purchase one on your own, please make sure the safety
goggles meet these requirements:
• Connect the machine to a properly grounded power outlet. Ensure the voltage of the power
source is identical to the voltage of the machine.
• Do not open the laser access panel when the machine is plugged in.
• Do not attempt to modify or disassemble the laser module.
• Do not attempt to remove or modify any component of the machine's laser interlock safety
system.
• Ensure the immediate work area of the machine is well-ventilated. Odors, vapors, and dust are by
products generated during the laser engraving and cutting process. An exhaust system, vacuum
cutting box, and honeycomb table are recommended. Please contact GCC or your local GCC
distributor for more information.
• Do not laser heat-sensitive surfaces or materials that may generate toxic fumes, such as PVC and
Teflon.
Regularly clean and maintain your machine according to our cleaning and maintenance
instructions. Doing so will ensure a machine that will operate effectively and safely over a long
period of time.

1.6 Operating Environment

Please follow the guidelines when considering a suitable location to set the LaserPro C180II. Improper
work environments may lead to operational malfunction and/or unsafe working conditions. The LaserPro
C180II should be placed and operated in a standard office-type environment.
• Avoid environments where the machine is exposed to high levels of dust, temperature
(temperatures exceeding 30°C or 85°F) or humidity (humidity exceeding 70% or where the
ambient temperature is near the dew point).
• Avoid small, enclosed areas with poor ventilation.
• Avoid areas with high levels of noise and electrical noise.
• Select a location that is large enough to accommodate the LaserPro C180II, an exhaust system,
a computer and a work or storage table.
• Select a location in which the ambient temperature remains between 15°C and 30°C (60°F to
9000-11000nm OD5+
